Whole fish

The whole fish is something I'm trying to embrace more over summer. Mum and Frank used to make this dish all the time whe we were growing up, and it was one of those dishes that was always shrouded in adult mystery, because it was one they just made for them and didn't feed to us. Probably not for any particular reason other than getting kids to eat something when you can still see its face, something that is full of bones, and something that has chilli and tofu sauce is an uphill battle.
I'd forgotten about it until mum made it when I was recently in Jakarta, and it was really good. The fish stays so lovely and moist, and it's all very light and healthy. Two thumbs up.
